they can stay at home, invest their CAPT

comfortable living. The country does
not need settlers, it needs intelligent and
energetic workers where it is already set

dozens of them, where well-to-do farmers
have sold their real and personal estate at
large sacritice-good farms, where they
were born and brought up, and where the
land and buildings were in excellent con-
dition-simply because the western

This custom of using an archaic
tongue unfamiliar to people is very an
Gent, and prevails in various religions
outside of Christianity throughout the
world. There seems to be IA deep rooted
sentiment in human nature that sacred
ceremonies should have a language apart,
SO that the multitude may not approach
and profane that which is beyond and
above their comprehension.
Within IA few years a remarkable in
stance of this custom existing among a
primitive people has been brought to light
in the Investigations of Mr.. Frank Hamil-
ton Cushing among the Zuni Indians of
New Mexico. Mr.. Cushing having dis
covered that the prayers and ceremonials
used by the priests are i'll an ancient
tongue which bears a relation to the Zuni
of to-day similar to that of Anglo-SaXon
to English. The remarkable thing about
this is that the ancient language has been
preserved orally, the Zuni having no
method of writing, but SO great is the
veneration for the sacred tongue that it
has been handed down from generation to
generation without the change of a word.
This illustrates the conservative value of
a priesthood. Nearly, if not quite all,
which the lingual science of to-day knows
of the tongues of antiquity is due to this
practice of preserving them for use in
sacred ofiices.-Boston Herald.

FISH IN OTTER CREEK.
M. NJ. Backus in American Angl,

NJ NJ. Backus in American Angler1
An intelligent correspondent in last
weeks Angler complains of the want of
fishways in the Vermont rivers. As all
the streams emptying into Lake Cham
plain on the west and east sides are OBJ
structed by falls at no great distances
from their mouths, it would appear an
absolute necessity to build fishways, if
the residents along the rivers are to have
those fish which are so abundant i'm the
lake: but if they are to wait until our
legislators build fishways they may have
to die without the sight. There is a great
and good time coming, but it is some dis
lance off yet. Meanwhile we record
what has been done for our streams in
Vermont, as it may perhaps encourage
some angler on the Winoosk, the La
noble and the Missisquoi to go and do
likewise.
The Otter Creek runs for more than 30
miles parallel with the lake shore at "A
distance of - miles from it along the base
of the Green Mountains. and after receiy-
ing numerous mountain brooks in its
course-fairly good trout streams by the
way-finally turns sharply west at
Nergennes and plunging down the falls
at that place some 40 feet. empties into
the lake seven miles below Though
called creek, it is virtually an important
river of considerable magnitude with an
unfailing supply of water and with deep
pools and long stretches of quiet water,
beside occasional rapids and rifles. 1t
never freezes to the bottom. 1t was once
a prolific trout stream, long ''before the
war, but at that time it was a wooded
and shady stream, whereas now it runs
through cultivated fields with many a
thriving and busy village on its banks.
The trout are now found only in its
mountain afluents.
Not more than 10 years ago some gen
us in fit of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in
the body or out of the body no one can
tell-took few black bass from the lake
and put them in the Otter Creek above the
falls. The result of this modest little
deed is that to-day the Otter Creek
abounds in that noble game fish. Nergen-
mes claims to have done the deed and
names its man. Rutland also claims to
have done it. and also names its man.
However that may be, the deed was done
and we all enjoy the result. For five
thousand years the black bass had been
in the lake, indigenous to its water. and
only needed IL little lift of 10 feet over
that fall to enable them to populate and
dominate the Otter Creek. They are
there to stay. and will declare them
selves in all future years. They have
displaced no trout as that fish had area-
dy displaced himself. They do not pur-
sue the trout up the brooks. those waters
being too narrow for their habtation.

THE AMERICAN MASTlFF.

The American mastifi. as ii exists to-
day. is an artificial breed. whose charac-
teristics are maintained only by the most
careful breeding. There is therefore op-
portunity for the greatest diversity of APP
pearance, all depending as it does on the
selection and crossing of various strains
of blood. This diversity shows itself
frequently in the matter of size. The
minimum height allowed by the English
Mastiff club is twenty-seVen inches. The
maximum height of the breed is said to
be thirty-four inches, but height greater
than thirty-one or thirty-two inches is
seldom attained. The height should be
produced by depth of body, and not by
length of leg. Massiveness of frame
should be the first consideration, stature
the second. Yet for many years the one
idea of the American breeder was to obtain
height. TO get this he seemed willing TO
sacrifice every characteristic of the breed
introducing crosses of mongrel blood that
have proved most unfortunate in their
effect, all the time ignoring the fact that
great height, though desirable, is not an
essential characteristic of the mastitf.
This seems one of the most difficult things
for the tyro to learn. 1t is not desired
that these statements should be taken as
"A declaration in favor of small size in the
mastitf. The aim of the breeder should
be toward the largest dog that can be
produced without sacrifice of that most
valuable attribute which the breeder calls
type or character. \ mastitf twenty
seven inches high should weigh one hun
bred and twenty pounds, and one thirty
two inches high should weigh one hundred
and eighty pounds llarper's Magazine.

Shaved with Sharp Shells.

The South Sea barber is never at loss
for shop or utensils, nor is one at a loss
to find barber where all alike are ca
pable of perpetrating a shave, hair cut or
shampoo, the only difference being that
some do it worse than others. His shop
is always with him-all he wants is some
thing for a seat-and as in operating he
himself stands he does not feel the same
lively repugnance that his patient does to
resting on a spray of coral. His soap he
finds in the large fruit of a vine that
grows everywhere in the bush and along
shore; broken open and dipped in water
salt or fresh is all one-it produces,
when rubbed upon the face, fine,
creamy lather that looks all that could be
desired, but which, in fact, is a vain de-
fusion, as it cultivates no intimate &C
quaintance with the skin or hair.
The shells on the beach afford that
against which he cuts when he is not
gashing the tender skin of the white
man: his shark tooth razor is at hand,
snugly wrapped in leaf and slowed in
the perforaton of one ear, the balance
being restored by carrying his tobacco
and pipe similarly situated in the other.
When the operation is over the lather is
swabbed out of the mouth, eyes and other
cavities with a wisp of grass, the ashes of
another bunch of grass are carefully
rubbed over the face to prevent the hem
orrhage which seems inevitable to the
victim, and finally head and face are
washed with a shaddock as big as can
talope, whereof half is held in either
hand of the operator and the head of the
victim between. AS an abstract fact in
economic botany it may be stated that
the juice of this shaddock is not pleasant
upon raw flesh.
Sometimes the barber finds that relic
that civilization always leaves upon the
path over which it has passed. the broken
bottle. Then he advances step toward
luxury in shaving, the acme of which is
reached when he can use a piece of hoop
iron.
There is one good point about him, and
that is that he does not talk; yet even
this is blunted by the fact that he usually
sings monotonously. Some few words of
his weird. wild and lonely chants as the
nearer succeeds in catching cause chlls of
the coolest kind to run up and down his
back as he reflects that but few years
ago We're the days when his barber, in
stead of shaving, would have cheerfully
engaged in dissecting him with view to
settling the question of the dinner hour.

A young woman had Just left
dentists chair and was adjusting her
wrap to leave, with several dollars worth
of gold in one of her incisors, when a re-
porter entered the office.
"What is the use of people enduring
the agony of having their teeth filled
when they can have them pulled without
pain and then have set of false teeth
which will never trouble them again.
asked the reporter as the young lady gave
a sigh of relief and left the office.
why, my dear young man, very few
people can have a set of artificial teeth
which will not trouble them. In nearly
every case false teeth are very trouble
some.
That is when you do not get good
fit, suppose
at is difficult to get a perfect fit and
have it remain so very long, because
many mouths are continually changing.
A plate that may fit well to-day may be-
come unbearable in six months, and the
plate may even break; in fact, they fire.
quently do. | have several patients who
must have new plates made every year
or two, at the most, because their mouths
change SO much they cannot use a plate
longer than that Then there are other
people who cannot endure a plate in their
mouth at all, no matter how perfect the
fit. They cannot become accustomed to
them even after persistent trials. have
known men after trying whole year to
give up in disgust and resolve to gum it.
So you see artificial teeth may be a con-
tinual expense and great annoyance to
person. 1t is far better to have the
natural teeth attended so, if they need a
dentists attention, but it is better still
for every one to take proper care of their
own teeth and preserve them as long as
possible. cleveland Plaindealer.

Should the question be raised how this

to find the interest for an exact number
of days, on the basis of 3G5 days in a
